With the aim to calculate the Co2e of a Fresh Bus and compare the emissions to a diesel bus, the team deployed Life-cycle Assessment (LCA) as per ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. Fresh Bus’s popular routes between Bangalore-Tirupati and Hyderabad-Vijayawada were analysed with this Cradle to Grave approach, which evaluates carbon emissions throughout the Production, Use, and End-Of-Life phases.

Fresh Bus recognised that the charging phase, while essential, generated the highest share of carbon emissions. These findings inspired Fresh Bus to further its sustainability efforts by prioritising operational efficiency. The team is also focusing on their “Captain Culture” programme, which facilitates behaviour change in drivers by incentivising them to drive the buses more efficiently.
